If this bill were to become law then “Social Media” would have to ban all health information coming from the government.

Realistically their lawyers would tell them to ban all health information regardless of source.

>>If this bill were to become law then “Social Media” would have to ban all health information coming from the government.<<

“The legislation leaves it up to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for declaring public health emergencies, to define what constitutes health misinformation. “

So ONLY info from, or approved by, the CDC would be allowed on social media, and ALL communication contradicting or casting doubt on CDC communications would be banned.
